a layered composition self portrait from 2 of my own photos.. used pse 8

the poem below I wrote on 11/08/2010 …almost 2 years ago to date…… about a lonely autumn tree… now this suits what I am truly feeling.. about me… on this date 09/18/2012.. for I love the forest and autumn.. it is my favorite place to be.. when I need to reflect and think…XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I am hanging on to my autumn coat…..

standing all alonein my autumn coatauburn leavesidentify me

first snow has comefallen soldiersaround me lieresting now as should I

soon I will be coveredin a blanket of whitei am told not to be scaredit will insulate my young life

spring will bring warmthenough too shed my coatit will be time for a new colorgreen will be the new look

I will grow a few inches moreunder the canopy of lovemy elders, the pines and maplesthat tower from above

they will protect methrough out the rain and shinewrap their limbs around meduring windstorms that blind

when no one else is listeningunless you are one with usyou will hear my lessons from themblowing in the wind gusts

the rustle of their leavesthe sway of their branchesas they express themselvesall parents have lessons

so fear for me notnext season I will be hereand waiting for your visitto admire my new veneer!

I am a self taught artist and have drawn and painted since I could hold crayons or a pencil in my hands..My brain is an attic filled with treasures yet to be explored or recreated.. I am a Veteran,a wife, a mom, a grandmother, a sister, a daughter and a teacher!!! My pallet is full of life, color and energy.. I hope you will see and feel that in all of my artwork.
